Gas or diesel, doesn't matter on three acres or even (in my case) 80. I run a Farmall 300 gas and a Farmall cub, and take care of 10 acres of truck garden, 2 acres of orchard and 30 acres of hay ground. The big one takes 2 to 3 gallon per hour plowing the big plots and baling hay or brush hogging. It gets better mowing hay and planting. The cub just seems to make gas lol. Honestly, I seem to fill it up about three times a year. Mowing with a 5' sickle, harrowing and cultivating all seem to take about 1/2 gallon per hour or less. On 3 acres, fuel for a cub or even a 300 would be negligible. 25 gallons would get a man through most of a year doing whatever you wanted to. Its my opinion that live power, live hydraulics, and power steering are much more important than what type of fuel you choose to burn. The perfect rig for a small place would be a 3000 Ford or 300 IH utility. Gas or diesel, who cares. As long as it has the features mentioned above, it'll be just about perfect. Just leave off the N Fords, the H Farmalls, and the B John Deeres. You'll thank me later.

I've been working very hard to get our two rundown Farmall A's sanded, primed , bondo�d, fiberglassed and painted before our big local tractor show called the Tulip Festival. My husband Ben came in the garage one rainy day to see if he could "help". Well if you knew Ben you wouldn't want him anywhere near your spray gun, fiberglass or bondo! So I pulled out the 2 old yucky looking magne
